Did it used to be called "Buffalo Town" or something, because that's just where they had a lot of Buffalo come from, but was then just shortened to "Buffalo" because nobody could come up with anything better to call the place?

A better stupid sentance is that Hallows one which is basically the same as the Buffalo one but makes more sense. Can't find the link to it now though.
